Intersectionality, or, location, location, location?

“What we had was an active shooter,” Acevedo said. “It’s hard to know what was going through people’s minds when they start shooting at a police helicopter in a neighborhood like this.”

IN A NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THIS.

I have never been to Austin, so I am completely clueless about the kind of neighborhood this bizarre and sad situation happened in.

I am also completely mystified about WHY the neighborhood would make one bit of difference in determining why someone would (allegedly?) spend over an hour shooting a variety of weapons at a police helicopter.
